Carmen is shocked to hear Josias probably knows who the father of Pamela's baby is. She lifts her head and speaks in a distressed manner, "Josias, please! Tell me more details, we need to know!"
Josias mockingly replies, "What? Don't tell me that you still believe that I am the father? Months ago your father had a conversation with me."
Carmen swallows this insult. "Yes, and we even apologize for the inconvenience. Pamela refuses to say, we're worried!"
Josias avenges Melissa. "Well, stay in doubt or ask Pamela! One hour she'll have to tell the truth!"
Josias walks out of the company and leaves Carmen frustrated.

At Harold's house in the evening, Harold and Uélton have returned from work and are now listening to Isabel narrate the day. Everyone is sitting on the couch in the living room.
Harold asks excitedly, "So, honey, how was your day?"
Isabel replies worriedly,
In the living room, Cristina has dressed Pamela, putting gauze and adhesive tape on her left hand. The two are sitting on the sofa. Raymond is standing next to them, worried sick. Carmen is taking her purse to leave.She speaks in a nonchalant tone, "Well, folks, I need to get there early..."Pamela stops her from going by retorting, "Wait, Carmen, you need to explain to me what this Jeremiah nonsense is all about!"Carmen turns to her. Is it serious that she wants to continue to deny it? "You're the one who needs to explain to our parents. Who is Jeremiah? Some neighbor from Mr. Teodoro's boarding house that we don't know about?"Pamela's eyes widen. She doesn't answer immediately. "So it was Seu Teodoro, that damned old man? Well, I'll tell you then who the father is. Yes, he was begotten in the boarding house, but it wasn't with Jeremiah."Cristina gets very curious, "Who, daughter?"Pamela pauses dramatically. Cristina again feels inside
In the penthouse living room, Melissa, Dora, and Elisa are putting new covers on the sofas. The covers are made of fine linen, chosen by Elisa. Caio is walking around the living room.Elisa comments about the boy, "This boy is growing up, how wonderful."Dora acts like every proud grandmother, "Do you remember when he was little?"Caio starts fiddling with a small bookcase.Melissa scolds him, "Caio, don't touch that!" She turns to Elisa, "Friend, thank you so much for helping with the covers."Elisa replies somewhat haughtily, "I am glad you are finally assuming your post as mistress of this home. So we need to make this space worthy of a lady."Dora is more and more excited. "Daughter, you will be the envy of Lagoon City! Imagine: your face appearing on all the newspaper and magazine covers, gossip columns, interviews being given in here, everyone seeing how beautiful and glamorous you are..."Melissa is encouraging herself: "Oh, Mo
In Saint Gabriel, Adrian and Bruno are closing the sale of a house. They are standing next to Bruno's car. He is using the hood of the car to fill out the paperwork for the sale of the property to the client.Bruno is quite pleased, "See, Adrian, how easy it is to close a sale?"Adrian replies not so excited, "It's not that easy. You had to work a little on your persuasion."Bruno gives a mischievous little smile. "Believe me, my friend: I have had more difficult customers. But when the client really wants to buy a house, there's not much you can do."Bruno finishes filling out.Adrian says out of the blue, "Now you can tell me Laerte's message."Bruno smirks. Adrian is not dumb."The contract says that this house was built by Silva Constructions in 1982."Adrian gets a nauseated look on his face. "I offer my condolences to the client."Bruno giggles. "Stop being a pain in the ass, buddy! Look at the finish on this place
Josias and Octavio enter the former's room in astonishment after Tiago and Igor's revealing conversation.Octavio asks while closing the door, "Could you imagine such a story?"Josias opens his desk drawer."Part of it is not news. We got the confirmation." He reaches for his wallet.Octavio continues: "Yes, they confirmed what is in the Public Archive. All that's left is for them to reveal to us why their parents were murdered."Josias closes the drawer with a certain thud. He faces Octavio seriously. "I think we'll leave that subject aside for now. There's too much going on in my head.""I see. There's the wedding and this business of your nephew staying with you."Josias sighs; another problem in the Campos family weighing on his shoulders."I've always rooted for William to succeed in sports. But a son changes everything. I really hope it's worth that sacrifice, and that Caio can understand when he's older."Octavio
Cristina opens the door to her house and finds Isabel outside. Isabel immediately looks at the TV and sees it turned off.Isabel asks curiously, "Aren't soap operas running at this hour?"Cristina makes room and holds out one of her arms. "Not yet. You may come in."Isabel enters and sits down on the couch. There was a teapot and cups of tea on the coffee table. Cristina sits on the other couch, staying vis-à-vis.Cristina treats her visitor well. "Help yourself, dear. Let's talk.""You were sounding anxious on the phone," Isabel observes.Cristina replies excitedly, "Yes, something happened today. Pamela finally revealed who the father of my third grandchild is."Cristina pours two cups of tea and extends one of them to Isabel. Isabel accepts it."It's about time. Just don't say it's Josias because no one will believe her this time."Cristina sneers. "At least she learned. It was rumored that the father was a cer
Teodoro is lying in bed in his apartment, resting from lunch. The fan is on above him and he is shirtless to cool himself off. The radio is playing the song "Karma Karmelion" by Culture Club, and Teodoro moves his feet to the rhythm of the music. Angry knocks on the door take his peace away."I wonder who could it be at this hour?" He grumbles in dissatisfaction.He gets up, clumsily puts on a shirt, and heads for the living room. As he opens the door, Isabel and Cristina head inside."Hey, what is this invasion here?" Teodoro complains.Cristina answers ironically, "Invasion? You opened the door for us!"Teodoro is stunned. "But, first you should say 'good afternoon, may I come in?'"Isabel is more mocking and sarcastic: "May we come in?"Teodoro feels that the two ladies are mocking him. "Anyway, what is this urgent matter that can't wait?"Cristina acts as if she is in a soap opera. Her voice placement and facial gestures ma
William is strolling through the Happiness Slum field. He reminisces about the time when he was still a teenager, playing and scoring goals.He hears Ferreira's voice: "I'm glad to see you back."William turns around and finds Ferreira approaching him, smiling. He smiles weakly, "Well, here I am wanting to take a little more risk."Ferreira stops walking and comments, "You never should have stopped, Will. You could be on a First Division team, playing in Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo."William scratches his head. "That's embarrassing...""Well, you don't live here anymore, thank goodness. If you still want to play soccer, I can introduce you to the coach of the Green Park team. In fact, it will be much easier for you to get exposure to a more relevant team."William smiles, making a decision: "How about I stick around and make the Happiness Slum team the champions of Lagoon City?"The idea greatly pleases Ferreira and he licks his lips.
Teodoro is about to have a heart attack with so many people pinning him to the wall because of Beto's libidinous conduct. Josias has no mercy and continues to question him."Until when will you tell me the truth?"Teodoro desperately replies, "What truth? All you care about is Beto going to jail for sexual abuse! When in fact these girls shamelessly throw themselves at him!"Josias shakes his head. "But, if that were the case, Beto should have the decency and the humility to refuse. But, it seems he enjoys having a different woman in his bed each day."Teodoro crosses his arms and his face turns red. "Josias, we've been through a lot together, let's not fight now over something that shouldn't even be your business! Isn't your wedding coming up?"Josias smiles devilishly, "Yes, and I want to know if I can keep the Reis family's invitation."Teodoro's face from red turns pale. "We won't be invited anymore because of this clowning around?"
